* InterchangeableAsianCultures: The city of Tokyo depicted in the cartoon looks nothing like its real-life counterpart, not only 1940s' which is Westernised to some extent, but even its ancient era (more specifically, from the Asuka era to the Heian era) 's when Chinese influence was stronger. Buildings with bright red roofs and white walls are rather popular in China, not Japan (even if you consider Okinawa, which has a different culture from mainland Japan and these kinds of colours are used for buildings, it still doesn't look like Japanese one). Plus, Junk boats can be seen, despite the fact that they originated from China and are not used in Japan. Scott Bradley's "Oriental" sounding music-cue sounds nothing like Japanese music as well. In fact, only the sun (clearly derived from the Japanese naval flag) and the Japanese flags that can be seen on the island are the elements that can be said to be genuinely Japanese.

* PatheticDroopingWeapon: The anti-aircraft gun of the pigs deflated after some usage, but it had risen back up after a pig gave it B1 vitamins to enable it to be useful again.

** When this short aired on Creator/CartoonNetwork during a special about UsefulNotes/WorldWarII era cartoons, two scenes were edited: 1) The scene of the two pigs running into the brick house had a weird, yellow blur on it. Why? Because the sign originally said, "No Japs Allowed" (actually, it said "No Dogs Allowed," but "Dogs" was crossed out and replaced with "Japs") and the yellow blur was to cover the word "Japs", and 2) The OverlyLongGag with the large gun originally ended with the gun blasting a shell to Tokyo and Tokyo exploding and sinking into the ocean. The Creator/CartoonNetwork edited version cut that whole part and made it look like the pigs were aiming the gun at the Hitler Wolf's trench.

* {{BFG}}: The cannon the pigs unleash at the climax of the short is so absurdly huge that [[OverlyLongGag it takes a very long time to pan from end to end]] (and it [[LampshadeHanging it gets lampshaded, too]]).

Surprisingly, this short is also one of the few WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons to have seen a DVD release, making it onto the ''Warner Bros. Academy Awards Animation Collection''. It was also released as an extra, along with other Avery MGM shorts, as part of the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Platinum Collection Volume Two'' Blu-ray.

* BombWhistle: Taken quite literally. The Wolf fires a whistling bomb at the pigs, but the main pig stops it by holding a magazine pin-up poster. The bomb stops in midair and does a WolfWhistle, then flies back and returns with more bombs to look at the pin-up, whistle at it and faint.



* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The third pig says that Adolf can take his treaty and "shove it up..." [[CurseCutShort before he's cut off by distant gunfire]]. The shoving gesture he does as he says it [[AssShove makes his intent clear.]] It looks like [[UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode the Hays Office]] gave this one a pass because they're referring to a spoof of Hitler.

* LampshadeHanging: The scene where the Straw Pig's house is blown away, revealing a sign that reads, ''Film/GoneWithTheWind''--and quickly whipping over to a sign nearby that reads, "Corny gag, ain't it?" During this time, "I Wish I Was In Dixie" plays in the background.
